Paul, could you mail me when you installed my key?

I see two ways of handeling user accounts:

* the users have to reregister => you have the problem users will
  likely take each other login names.
  An advantage is you get a cleaning of the logins
* we keep the excisting users and remove all there keys and reset
  their passwords.  They can use the lost password option then.
  After a couple of months you can then check for the users who
  haven't set a new passs or keys and remove them to clean the
  database.

I think when choosing the second option for the users we can keep the
projects that way.

But what will you do with the projects that havent mailed us that
there code OK is?

I can only think of doing it manually.
